Maintenance
We have a range of maintenance courses, from ‘never held a spanner before’ to wheel building

We offer one day courses, City & Guilds qualifications and bespoke hourly workshops for individuals and businesses. We also offer Dr Bikes. Book one of our competitively priced courses, or if you live, work or study in Ealing, Lewisham or the City of London contact us about subsidised courses.

Dr Bike

Bicycles brought to a Dr Bike session are assessed for roadworthiness and, depending on the time available, adjustments are made and small parts fitted such as brake pads and cables. A Dr Bike is a great opportunity for owners to get involved, to learn more about their bikes and be given visual demonstration of maintenance techniques. Dr Bikes are great for public events or for organisations. Contact us

"The cycle maintenance course was more than I had expected. I came away feeling full of confidence to tackle repairs and maintain my bike and my children’s bikes too. In fact on the way home from the course, I stopped off at the local bike shop in Ealing, bought a new tyre and fixed it that evening”
